Code Warrior opened up as the tepid early favorite in the G3 Ontario Fashion, and is 7-2 with 12 minutes to post. She looked good in the paddock, as did the Josie Carroll-trained duo of Moonlit Promise (7-2) and Ami's Mesa (5-1).

Code Warrior enjoys the lead, but she doesn't have to be there to be effective, according to trainer Mike DePaulo.
